and said that he would take him home.
The officer fefiaed to release him and Sam
jumped from the buggy and asked II any

In tho face, knocking him up against the
wall. Just at this time Officer Kelly came
up and pulled his revolver, thrnsting It in

hoTa, undecided what to do. Finally he
settled up his efsirs, and in 1875 took
passage on a Mississippi river steamer.
His route is not known, but on the Fourth
OF July, 1875, he was found lying beneath
his wagon on tho National road near Elm
Grove, FIVE miles east Of this city, bearing
tho marks OF q terrible beating. lie was
removed 70 the Ohio county Inirmary,
where ina few days he died without Lav-
ing told his story.
1t was surnised that he had baon way
laid and robbed. Little can be told Of the
circumstances Of his death after the lapse
OF twelve years. He had no csah III his
possession, aud it is scarcely a reasonable
presumption that he would travel as he did
without some ready money. But all that
10 known o Thin is anLindis.irct memory.
Advertisements for his heirs brought no
response, and tho Sheriff OF the county
sold his wagon and horses in accordance
with the law. A black tin box found in
his wagon was placed in the vault at the
